عصفور من الشرق

With the publication of this novel in 1938, Tawfiq al-Hakim added new leadership to his areas of leadership, after consolidating his role as one of the fathers of the Arabic novel. With his easy style, his amazing ability to describe and depict, as well as his brilliant contemplative dialogues.
Like a bird, Mohsen, the protagonist of the novel - the narrative mask parallel to the character of Tawfiq Al-Hakim - moves from place to place throughout Paris. The capital of light and beauty and the “window of the world,” with his black hat, black coat, black tie, and black shoes! That oriental boy who lives in Paris, roaming its streets, cafes and offices, pecking like a bird in search of philosophy.
